Something to think about

[OsmanGulum]

This post is in regards to Biographies and Autobiographies and I posted it as a separate topic to try and get a wider range of responses!

 

So its basically a question.

 

Do you think it is harder to write an autobiography or sit and try to explain to someone how to write your biography?

 

Think about what you would write in your autobiography... Think about what you would be willing to share with someone else personally? - This differs when you actually write the book yourself. When you write it yourself, you can get across that emotion as if you are sitting there next to the reader.

 

Does it depend on how good the biographer is?

 

Lots to think about really! A trivial kind of subject but fun to think about nonetheless!

p.s. I'm new here, be gentle on me!

I suppose it would depend on the persons ability as a writer. I don't read a lot of biographies, but some i read and think, " you really should have got someone else to write that for you!"

 

Welcome to the site, by the way! And don't worry, everyone is always gentle here!
